Rangers vs. Wild: At Least They Scored a Goal, Right?
Bread is served—but not much else. Artemi Panarin snapped the home goose egg, yet the Rangers couldn’t build on it as Minnesota controlled nearly everything else.

- It was a fantastic passing play. It was the kind of crisp puck movement I'd like to see more of from this team. It was also the kind of crisp puck movement I didn't see a lot more of from this team in the rest of this game, but we'll get to that in a moment.

- Ya know, old time hockey? Toe Blake, Dit Clapper, Eddie Shore, Hib Milks. We don't talk enough about Hib Milks.
- The bad news? There was not a lot else that was good in that game for the New York Rangers, aside from Igor Shesterkin.
